stances, seems very singular indeed.
The general sentiment at New Cumber-
berlanl 10 that the defenso scored ylct&
ry In the selection OF the jury. BEkefa
attorneys are we'll pleased with the body
OF twelve men. The prisoner, however, is
very nervous, aud questioned closely after
tho character Of his judges, and expressed
doubt that he would receive iair trial
from them. The intense strain of tn
trial Is beginning to tell on him. HisSaJ
Of case is fading away, and he appeals
worried and anxious. In discussing the
character OF the jury he made his first
sign Of weakness. Hitherto he has seemed
defiant and confident OF acqnittal.
